Spokesmen for Foxwoods Resort Casino and the Mashantucket Pequot tribe said Monday the two parties will contest Saturday's union vote granting roughly 2,600 dealers at the casino the ability to organize under the UAW.

Neither Bruce MacDonald, tribal spokesman, or Saverio Mancini, casino spokesman, would elaborate on when the objections will be filed or the nature of the complaints.

Almost 2,200 dealers voted during the 15 hours polls were open Saturday.
